There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Manchester to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
